Weekly Quote:: Wheverever you go, no matter the weather, always bring your own SUNSHINE.
A while back Nouveau Cheap had posted a blog post about reverse washing her hair and you know I had to try it out. I mean, I was extremely curious about this particular method but I was also a bit apprehensive to try it out. I've tried the whole baking soda and vinegar mixture, plain baking soda and those two were definitely not or my scalp or hair.
Reverse washing is where you use your conditioner BEFORE you shampoo you hair. It sounds weird right? Well, I followed G.'s directions and left the conditioner in like I normally would. Without washing the conditioner out first, I used my shampoo to basically wash my hair. Now I don't know what I was expecting, but from right here..I will tell you this method is not for me. I didn't have any expectations going into this whole experiement other than hoping it didn't dry my hair out like crazy.
What bothered me the most when I got out of the shower is that my hair was ridiculous knotty and just hard to brush out. That by far is not a normal occurance for me, well it was when I was a child but not for many many moons. The next day my hair was a soft, but not as soft as it usually is. It was a bit coarse and just did not want to be tamed. Now usually I go about a week beore I wash my hair, but washing it this way I got maybe three before I wouldn't stand it anymore. It was just gross, it felt like my hair hadn't been washed in a month.
For myself personally, I wont be trying this again and I haven't since I initially tried it. However, don't let my negative experience sway you from trying it. Everyones scalp and hair is different and just like mascara it will work differently for everyone. I've read about quite a lot of people who love washing their hair like this, but it's just not for myself.
